Good Friday
First day of Holidays!
On Monday, all students are welcome to wear free dress for a gold coin donation in support of Caritas. Please make sure it is suitable to run the cross country in, and try to support your house colour too!
On Thursday, 2 Navy will be having an end of Term celebration with a 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' movie special - we have been reading the text as a class throughout the term and the children love hearing the fantastic descriptive writing of Roald Dahl and imagining what the story scenes look like. I'm seeking a copy of the recent coloured version of the movie in DVD format to borrow for this day - if you are willing to loan it to us for the day we would be most appreciative!
Wednesday night is our end of Term Show Case Night from 6pm-7pm. The children's portfolio will be available to take home on the night, and it is suggested that you go through it with your child at home in a relaxed setting to celebrate all the hard work he or she has done this term. Look forward to seeing you on Wednesday night.
Wishing you all a very blessed and happy Easter season and a safe and refreshing holiday!

As you can see from our Friday Twitter updates, our Caritas Chain of Love is growing bigger each week. The children look forward to measuring with much excitement, especially those who become our human 'rulers' for the update. We are currently at $124. I wonder if we can reach the goal of $250 which the children set as their class fundraising target?!
Early notice: next term your child will need a shoe box for an activity connected to one of our main units - if you are buying new shoes over the holidays please save your shoe boxes! :)

This is a busy time of term, with the children being assessed on their learning regarding the various units of work they have been studying throughout the term.
The children have also been assessed on their reading levels which involves both the ability to read the words fluently and comprehension of the story. The target levels for Year 2 are to reach PM level 17 by mid year, and level 21 by the end of the year. I cannot stress enough the importance of daily reading with your child, which should be done at a time and location which is relaxing and enjoyable to foster a love for reading in your child. The home readers should be read at least TWICE each night to facilitate comprehension and fluency of the reader. If you know that reading is an area of challenge for your child, please make the effort to do extra reading on a daily basis. Being able to read is essential across ALL subject areas at school, being able to read information and instructions can make a world of difference to your child's learning.
Have a great week! :)
Note from the Library: As of next term you will be able to order and pay for Book Club online by going to www.scholastic.com.au/LOOP

On Thursday it was with much excitement that the three Year 2 classes set off to visit Mayes Cottage museum as part of our History unit - looking at the history of our local area. The wonderful volunteers described to the children what life would have been like in the 1800's for children of their age. The children viewed the original house and contents of Mayes Cottage, played outdoor games which were popular in the 1800's and were also treated to having a go at milking the very quiet 'cow'!

You will notice that your child's spelling list will have only a portion of the spelling words highlighted. After several weeks of spelling test results, the children have been grouped into appropriate spelling groups. This will enable your child to have a more relevant focus on target spelling words and provide the best opportunities for success on the weekly spelling tests, which is important for obtaining a sense of achievement. The children will still fold their homework book into four columns to practise their spelling words, and have been encourage to practise them to the bottom of the page in order to become super spellers. It is hoped that the smaller spelling lists will enable the children to have more time to practise their sight words at home, as the Year 2 target is to be able to spell all 200 sight words by the end of the year. Please do not tick off the sight word list in the reading folders - teaching staff will highlight and update these after each time that a student has been tested in class. Happy spelling!

Thank you to the families who were able to join us for our vision statement presentation last week. The challenge for us now is to work together as a team to live up to the promises we have made in our vision statement.
This week will be yet another eventful week. On Wednesday we have a Yr 2 mass in the church at 9am, led by 2G. Families are most welcome to join us.
Thursday will be very exciting with our excursion to Mayes Cottage. This is part of our history unit in which we are looking at our local area and comparing it's history with it's present features. Mayes Cottage is an excellent example of a typical family home in Logan's early history and will help the children to appreciate what life would have been like in the 1800's. As this is a short excursion, you will not need to pack anything different for the children. All children must wear their full day school uniform though, including a hat.
